1. LEGAL USES. BSDHosting.net's system and services may not be used in any way which violates Federal, State, Local, or International law. Further Customer is prohibited from taking any actions which are threatening, malicious, obscene, defamatory, abusive, unethical, violate privacy, promote hacking, promote gambling, or which violate trade secret, copyright or patent protection, or rights of privacy or publicity, or which result in the spread of computer viruses or other damaging programs or data files, or which violate any export restrictions (including making non-exportable information or software available to foreign nationals as may be prohibited by law). In the event Customer is suspected of any such violation, BSDHosting.net reserves the right to immediately suspend Customer's account. If Customer's account is suspended, the regular service fees still apply. If BSDHosting.net determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer has committed any such prohibited act, BSDHosting.net may terminate services.
2. UNSOLICITED BULK ELECTRONIC MAILING. Customer is expressly prohibited from sending unsolicited bulk electronic mail messages ("junk mail" or "spam"). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of advertising, information announcements, and political tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who have specifically requested it. BSDHosting.net will freeze any account that we confirm as senders of unsolicited bulk electronic mail messages. There will be a $500 reinstatement fee.
3. NETWORK TRANSMISSIONS. Customer is responsible for any materials passed via BSDHosting.net's system to other networks, and agrees to comply with any restrictions posed by other networks' terms of service or acceptable use policies.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY. BSDHosting.net will protect to the best of its ability the confidentiality of any files and electronic mail stored on or exchanged over the system, except as may be necessary to provide the requested Internet services, or as may be necessary to preserve the security and proper operation of BSDHosting.net's system, or to protect BSDHosting.net's rights or property. BSDHosting.net, except as otherwise provided for in this Addendum or as required by law, will use its best efforts to avoid disclosing the contents of private electronic mail to anyone other than addressees, authorized recipients, or those to whom such disclosure is necessary to assure forwarding or delivery.
Customer acknowledges that no system on the Internet can be guaranteed safe from unauthorized intrusion, and therefore any confidential information stored on or transmitted through BSDHosting.net's system is stored or transmitted at Customer's own risk.
5. SECURITY CONCERNS. Customer is responsible for the safekeeping of the password used to gain administrative access to the server used to store Customer's Web site.
Customer may not attempt to bypass any security mechanisms in place on BSDHosting.net's system, or use any of BSDHosting.net's systems or services to attempt to bypass any security mechanisms in place on any remote system. This includes, but is not limited to, running any password cracking software, or attempting to access a system which any Customer knows or reasonably should know he or she is not authorized to access in the manner or to the extent attempted.
6. COPYRIGHT ISSUES. Customer agrees not to upload to, download from, make available for public access on, or transmit through BSDHosting.net's system any copyrighted material in violation of the copyright owner's rights in that material. By uploading, downloading, making available for public access, or transmitting any copyright-protected material, Customer warrants that Customer has the proper authorization to make or authorize the making of any copies involved with such uploading, downloading, making available for public access, or transmission. Unauthorized copying, or authorizing the copying of protected works in excess of any legal right through BSDHosting.net's system is a violation of federal law and international treaties, and may result in not only termination of Customer's account, but also may result in civil and/or criminal fines and prison sentences.
Customer agrees not to remove any copyright ownership information, or falsify such information, on any files uploaded, downloaded, made publicly available through, or transmitted via BSDHosting.net's system.
Customer explicitly licenses BSDHosting.net to make any copies of copyright protected materials necessary to provide Internet and related services to Customer, as well as make any necessary copies necessary to preserve and maintain BSDHosting.net's system and Customer's files and electronic mail.
Customer explicitly licenses BSDHosting.net to make any copies, without limitation, of any copyrighted materials submitted to a public forum maintained on BSDHosting.net's system, or submitted to any forum to which BSDHosting.net provides access. This clause cannot be modified by either party unless any modification is in writing and signed by both parties.
7. UNATTENDED FORMS. Customer is not permitted to run any programs or software which continually send data over or access BSDHosting.net's system, or run any programs or software on BSDHosting.net's system unattended, unless such use has been approved in advance by BSDHosting.net.
